Best frontman of all time...

Dave Grohl. Foo Fighters.

Hands down.



I've seen them 5 times live and I'll continue to do so as often as I can.

The man is...well...the man.

Mick Jagger followed by DLR

There's a lot of excellent ones, but Greg Puciato from Dillinger Escape Plan does it for me. That guy puts on one insane live show, and he's done some of the biggest stage dives I've ever seen.

Ok, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden no doubt. There is people who think he's the best. And people who have not seen Iron Maiden. Just watch a video or something. I will bet you 500 dollars you will change your mind.

Chris Martin of Coldplay is also one of my favorites. He's shown excellent Carisma in all of his concerts (that I have seen on youtube).

They'll be the next band I see live.

I agree with Dave Grohl too.

Someone actually said the frontman of Greenday over Mercury from Queen? These little kids thinking there show-rock frontman could even hold a candle to the PAssion people like Mercury and Morrison put out.

The best ones that come to mind.......are DeAd!

Freddie(Queen)
Elvis
Bon Scott(AC/DC)
Michael Hutchence(INXS)
Jim Morrison(the Doors)

But still some goodies kicking....

Mick Jagger(RollingStones)
Bono(U2)

Brandon Boyd
Jim Morrison

Two great frontmen who have had a tremendous influence for me personally.

Edit: How could I forget Maynard James Keenan... that dude is just on a whole nother level....

Oh My god, how about Nick Jonas - tell me he is not the BEST Frontman!!!! I hope I marry him!

Maynard James Keenan /thread.

Anyone who has seen him live would have to say Monkey from The Adicts.

Eric Adams of Manowar. If you have never heard of manowar then go and check them out.
Not only does this man possess one of the greatest vocal ranges and 'front man' attributes in the metal genre, he has such a great voice that he has also appeared in a number of Broadway musicals including the Phantom of the Opera and Miss Saigon.

I'd have to go with Les Claypool. That man is some weird energy. I'd also like to say to all the tool fans... Everytime that I have seen tool (twice) MJK has stayed in the far back of the stage to the point where he was almost hidden. Love the music and the shows are awesome (voodoo fest 2001) but as far as stage presence, i'd have to say he's lacking. Then again, i've only seen two shows.

-not

RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS- Anthony Keidis
U2- Bono(love him or hate him)
SUICIDAL TENDANCIES/INFECTIOUS GROOVES- Cyco Miko. Mr Muir.
TOOL- Maynard
Mr. Jagger, Rob Plant, Ozzie, Jim Morrison, Hendrix, Paul Stanley, Ron "hitler" Barassi(TISM), Jello Biafra...i better stop.

Michael Stipe of R.E.M.

Not the most energetic (although he does move), but he just has a charisma about him. Hard to really put my finger on it, but you just don't want to miss what he's gonna do next...even if it's just throwing a hand up in the air. He just draws you in...

Three pages and no Iggy?

Since all my favorites have been mentioned, I'll put out some honorables.
